Feature // Alizzz MIXED BY for Thump

I asked Spanish producer Alizzz to contribute to Thump's MIXED BY series and he provided a party selection, fit for brightening up any Monday. I've included the little-under-an-hour mix below, along with some words I wrote to coincide for Thump- oh and the full tracklist if you just keep scrolling!

Alizzz MIXED BY for Thump

Barcelona’s Alizzz has been drenching us all in his elastic works of high-contrast digitalism and hip-hop influenced soundscapes, with releases on labels including MofoHifi and Arkestra since 2012. Fast forward two bonkers years, and Alizzz’s latest ‘Sunshine’ EP offering on Mad Decent’s Jeffrees imprint brings shimmering synths, befuddling tempo changes, and a gurgling dose of bass to the frisky label - with his exclusive MIXED BY offering following suit. Laden with booty clap-inducing Big Sean remixes, Jersey Club big-name re-fits, as well as a slew of unreleased edits and of-the-minute pop gems, Alizzz presents an hour-long ride that cements his audacious persona as a European-centric, US-influenced platter of brilliance.
